Nvidia releases 'Game Ready' 378.66 WHQL driver

Game optimizations for Sniper Elite 4, For Honor, and Halo Wars 2.

Nvidia today released a new Game Ready driver package containing performance tweaks and optimizations for three games: Sniper Elite 4, For Honor, and Halo Wars 2.

The new driver, version 378.66, is WHQL certified and not a beta release. It's a relatively minor update in that it doesn't introduce any SLI profiles that weren't already included in prior 378 drivers, though it did add 3D compatibility mode profiles for Sniper Elite 4 and For Honor, both listed as "excellent."

As for bug fixes, there are nearly a dozen of them. They are as follows:

[Surround]: Surround cannot be enabled on the XGPU.

[G-Sync]: With G-Sync and V-Sync both enabled, there is a long delay when switching a game from full-screen mode to windowed mode.

[Second Life 64-bit]: World view is tinted blue after disabling Advanced Lighting Model.

[The Division]: Shadows flicker after enabling PCSS.

[Kepler GPUs][Battlefield 1]: There is flickering in the game when using TAA.

[SLI][Surround][GeForce GTX 1080]: The system crashes when launching games in SLI Surround using HDMI 2.0 connections.
